My Thoughts on The Bad Dog, My Mortal Enemy, Pretended to Have Amnesia to Deceive Me

This title alone had me hooked! "The Bad Dog, My Mortal Enemy, Pretended to Have Amnesia to Deceive Me" is a mouthful, but it promises a fun ride, and for the most part, it delivers. I went in expecting a fluffy, comedic romance, and that's pretty much what I got.

First Impressions

Initially, I was drawn in by the bickering dynamic between the two leads, Wen Qi and Pei Yanchu. The premise of a supposed "mortal enemy" feigning amnesia is inherently hilarious, and the story wastes no time in capitalizing on the comedic potential. The set up is great and the beginning is very smooth to read.

What Works Well

The strength of this novel lies in its lightheartedness and the charming interactions between the main characters. It's a very relaxing read. The characters are charismatic and the interactions are very engaging. The author does a great job of creating a believable relationship dynamic, even with the slightly absurd premise. I also enjoyed the hints of the characters' past, it adds a layer of depth to their present interactions. I also liked how the story has little to no drama, so you can just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Areas of Concern

While the lack of intense drama is a plus for some, others might find the plot a bit thin. If you're looking for a complex, intricately plotted story, this might not be for you. The focus is definitely more on character interactions and the comedic aspects of their relationship. Also, some readers may be turned off by the premise being spoiled in the synopsis.

⚠️ Spoiler Warning

Okay, so I need to address the "enemies to lovers" aspect. It's revealed that Pei Yanchu actually liked Wen Qi from the start, even back in high school! Wen Qi, on the other hand, wasn't filled with hatred; he was just a tad annoyed by Pei Yanchu's childish antics. Apparently, he even fought with him to get his mom's attention. So, if you're expecting a true enemies-to-lovers trope, be aware that it's more of a one-sided annoyance that blossoms into something more.

Final Verdict

Overall, "The Bad Dog, My Mortal Enemy, Pretended to Have Amnesia to Deceive Me" is a delightful and easy read. If you're in the mood for a lighthearted romance with plenty of humor and charming characters, I'd recommend giving it a try. Just don't expect a deeply complex plot or a truly antagonistic relationship. It's a sweet, silly story that's perfect for unwinding after a long day.

Synopsis

The CEO pretends to have amnesia from the start. Wen Qi and Pei Yanchu were once mortal enemies in high school, like water and fire. After graduation, they went separate ways. When they meet again, Wen Qi is dealing with an arranged marriage, and Pei Yanchu is not only bankrupt but also in a car accident and has lost his memory. Wen Qi takes him in and treats his former enemy as a servant, claiming they are in a sugar daddy relationship to avoid the arranged marriage. However, what started as a false arrangement turns into something real, and the two end up in bed together. The next day, Wen Qi wakes up, accepts the situation in three seconds, and reaches out, expecting Pei Yanchu to carry him to the bathroom. “He’s already my servant, so what’s the big deal about warming the bed?” Three months later, Pei Yanchu’s assistant finds his missing boss and respectfully asks, “Boss, the company has been reorganized according to your instructions. When will you return to your position?” The tall and handsome man, wearing a pink apron and holding a spatula, calmly replies, “I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Inside, Wen Qi’s confused voice calls out, “Who is it?” Pei Yanchu quickly slams the door shut. “The property management. They’re reminding us to be careful with the gas.” Assistant: “…” Wen Qi has been feeling nauseous and has a poor appetite lately. After a visit to the hospital, he is struck by the results of his tests. How is it possible? He’s pregnant? But they only had one instance where they didn’t use protection? Feeling frustrated, Wen Qi goes to meet a friend for dinner. While sitting in his car, he sees a familiar figure walking out of a building. Handsome, dressed in a suit, exuding a noble and proud aura, surrounded by assistants and bodyguards. Just ten minutes ago on the phone, this man was gently telling him he was preparing sweet soup for his late-night snack and urging him to come home early. And now, he’s here? In a flash, the strange details from these past few months came rushing to his mind, connecting together like a thread. Wen Qi clenches his teeth and smiles coldly, tightening his fingers. Pei Yanchu, This is what you say, bankrupt, huh? Fine, very fine. – You’re done for. Wen Qi “accidentally” leaves a pregnancy check-up report behind and casually attends a matchmaking dinner. When Pei Yanchu finds out, he rushes over and confronts him, eyes red with anger, asking, “You’re pregnant with my child and going on a date with another man?!” Wen Qi retorts, “You’re bankrupt. If I don’t go on the date and don’t enter the arranged marriage, how will I pay for the baby’s formula?” He taps Pei Yanchu’s face lightly with a black card, his voice cheerful. “Don’t worry, since you’re the biological father, I’ll let you be the mistress.” Pei Yanchu: … A new thread appears on a popular forum: Random person: How big is this ‘large amount’? Five hundred bucks doesn’t need to be shared with everyone. Thread owner: It’s about… the market value of xx Group, around 50 billion? Random person: Really?
